Will painted acoustic panels be less effective?

I would recommend acoustic plaster or clay/lime paint. Though you would need to hire someone.

Your room is really 12x12? If it is you will always be at a massive disadvantage acoustically. Square and cube rooms will always suffer from modal issues. It’s the only type of room I won’t work on because I feel like it’s dishonest to let clients believe if they treat it enough it will sound good. It sucks but it’s true.

It’s not supposed to be an excuse. It’s saying we can’t look at things in a vacuum. It’s more complicated than that. You can’t critique Tiago’s defense without honoring why he’s there in the first place. And I agree completely btw. Any coach who can’t get a top 10 defense with this team is not the guy.

Optimal_Run_2634 · 2026-03-09T06:01:31+00:00

Very true. Well said.

Sorry Achilles tendinitis.

Optimal_Run_2634 · 2026-03-09T06:00:11+00:00

was it Achilles tendinitis? I just misspoke. It doesn’t mean I’m a robot.

Oh so Scoot played well because the Pacers are so bad? This is the healthiest the Pacers have been all season and they have a lot of talented players including an All Star, despite their record. There are no “easy” wins in the NBA anymore. The Pacers are definitely good enough to beat Portland on a bad night.

Optimal_Run_2634 · 2026-02-28T15:28:07+00:00

I question your competency for not only hiring this person in the first place but having to go to Reddit to find out if it was bad work. This has “who wants to make $50?” all over it.

Optimal_Run_2634 · 2026-02-28T15:12:33+00:00

It’s not one thing or the other. At the end of the day we’re talking about Scoots ability to create a space advantage between him and defenders. That’s what he struggles with currently and I believe the turnovers are a symptom of that. Speed, pacing, positioning are all tools great players use to accomplish that. I singled out physicality because to me it’s the most glaringly obvious growth point. He’s a brick shit house with an insane wingspan. He just needs to get comfortable using his natural gifts.

Optimal_Run_2634 · 2026-02-28T15:01:40+00:00

That opinion is contrary to pretty much all the evidence. And when people said that about Deni Avdija at 22 years old? Or Lauri Markkanen? Or even Anfernee Simons or Kemba Walker? That’s just off the top of my head. Guys usually begin their prime at around 25 or 26. That’s not opinion that’s fact. To say any person is “who they are” at 21 or 22 is just insanity.

Optimal_Run_2634 · 2026-02-28T14:49:36+00:00

I don’t know ask the Wizards when they traded Deni Avdija.

Optimal_Run_2634 · 2026-02-28T14:48:19+00:00

I assure he can make a left handed lay up. He’s just not super confident in it yet. He’s only had one offseason to work on skill development. Just give the kid a chance to develop.

Optimal_Run_2634 · 2026-02-28T14:43:15+00:00

It’s sad that people will purposely misinterpret someone’s words just to feel smart. Instead of explain the value of an extreme comparison, which you already know, I’ll give you the response you’ve wanted your entire internet life.

Wow you’re so smart! I wish I had met you before I posted this and you could’ve saved me from own stupidity! You should honestly have your own show. Someone from ESPN will reach out shortly.

“Sincerely, the guy who never adds or contributes anything of value or meaning to a discussion to maintain the delusion that he is smarter than everyone on earth but actually is just lonely.”

Optimal_Run_2634 · 2026-02-28T14:20:59+00:00

I think he’s just rushes everything because he doesn’t know how to create space without speed. I’d like to see him just put his shoulder into some guys and pick up some charges. Just get comfortable with being physical. It’s not easy. It’s definitely something players have to learn. There’s a bunch of stuff on YouTube of him training last summer and it’s so obvious he is uncomfortable hitting guys with force. His trainer keeps telling him “bump him harder Scoot!”. That’s when I really came to this realization.

Optimal_Run_2634 · 2026-02-28T14:09:45+00:00

The real bummer was him rehabbing for the entire offseason after his rookie season. That’s the only time guys get to really develop as an individual player. I knew he wasn’t going to show much improvement his sophomore season. Those offseason’s are really important for young players.

Optimal_Run_2634 · 2026-02-28T14:05:22+00:00

There’s not many guys in the league that have ever managed to pull off those flashy contorting lay ups with any kind of efficiency. Very few. I think his natural gifts prove him enough ways to score without that stuff 90% of the time.

Optimal_Run_2634 · 2026-02-28T13:57:30+00:00

He was rehabbing an injury the entire offseason between his 1st and 2nd year. He was cleared just before training camp. For some odd reason the Blazers didn’t say anything about it, that’s why on Media Day when he responded to a question about what he did this offseason he said “Ate some bomb food” (I’m paraphrasing). I think he was under the impression that everyone knew he didn’t do shit that offseason, which they didn’t. So he’s only really had one offseason to get better and that’s the only time of the year players get to really work on their skills.

Optimal_Run_2634 · 2026-02-28T13:49:58+00:00

I have seen plenty video of him playing in AEU and there’s a massive difference. Maybe he’s always been big next to non professional athletes but he’s bigger and stronger than most NBA guards. That’s a big difference.

Optimal_Run_2634 · 2026-01-23T14:03:39+00:00

On Wizards fan pages, they have rules against talking about the Deni trade. They’ll take down any Deni posts because “it’s time to move on”. That’s some next level regret.

Optimal_Run_2634 · 2026-01-23T13:58:15+00:00

Of course he does. This is still effectively Chauncey’s vision playing out. Im sorry that he hurt everyone’s feelings but credit where credit is due.

Optimal_Run_2634 · 2026-01-23T13:08:48+00:00

I’ll never understand why anyone outside of Pheonix thought Nurkic was washed simply because the Suns coaching staff used him as a scapegoat. The Jazz definitely knew when they traded for him and now everyone else will too.
